ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS, The “ Infallibility” Contest at Rome. Telegraphed Ezclusively to The Evening Star. Rome, Jan. 17.—The Empress of Austria took leave of the Pope yesterday. She received com- munion from him. Over three hu of the fathers refused to sign the petition in favor of infallibility, and many others returned evasive answers. The opposers of the project intend getting up a counter-petition, and assert that they are sure or adhesions enough to defeat the infallibility. Loxvox, Jan. 17—The Tablet, a Catholic or- gan, says: The majority in the Ecumenical Council in faver of the proposition of infalli- bility will be enormous. The Times thinks that the presence of the French troops may encourage the Pope to insist on infallibility and syllabus, notwithstanding the reluctance of the Council Sr saws Paris Tranquil but Anxious.

Mr. Sumner, from Co: ittee on Foreign Re- lations, reported Dill in relation to telegraphic ocean cables. Also, with a report, bill to provide for the payment of French spoliation claims prior to D1, Mr. Wilson, from Committee on Military Af- fairs, reported bill authorizing the ee i tysburg Na- War’ to take possession of the Get tional Cometery. Mr. Wilson called up bill prohibiting retired officers of the army from being to duty with pay beyond that of their grade. Passed. At one o’clock the unfinished. business being the bill for the admission of Virginia, was taken up. Mr. Stewart desired that the House bili should be taken up and put on its passage. Mr. Summer refused to allow the Honse bill to be rcad more than once, and Mr. Conkling sug- gested that the House bill could be offered ai the proper time as a substitute. Mr. Morrill of Vermont, declared that Vir ginia was not fit to be admitted, and he was op- posed to her coi in, cither with or withoat conditions. He would, however, sooner trust the rebels of the South than the Democratic parts of the North. He insisted that Governor Wal ker was not a fit representative of the loyal men, Virginia had shown in voting down the clauses of her constitution that she would trample on the fourteenth amendment whenever she had the power. Mr. Stewart said Con had, on the recom- mendation of the President, aliowed separate votes to be taken on the distranchising clause in the constitution, and the Senator bad voted for the bill. It would have been impossib! reorganize the State had the disfranch: clauses been retained. Mr. Conkling alluded, sarcastically, to the re- flections of Mr. Morrill on the Democratic par and contrasted the records of the Rep and Demoertic partics. Mr. Morton moved an amendment that th: second section of the third article of the Cou- stitution of Virginia shall never be construed t» allow any one to hold office incligible by the 14th amendment; and also an amendment making it punishable by tine and imprisonment for any one in any State to hold ofiice in viola tion of the 1ith amendment.
